Create SignedDurations from numeric literals.

Examples

Basic construction of SignedDurations.

# use time::{SignedDuration, ext::NumericalDuration};
assert_eq!(5.nanoseconds(), SignedDuration::nanoseconds(5));
assert_eq!(5.microseconds(), SignedDuration::microseconds(5));
assert_eq!(5.milliseconds(), SignedDuration::milliseconds(5));
assert_eq!(5.seconds(), SignedDuration::seconds(5));
assert_eq!(5.minutes(), SignedDuration::minutes(5));
assert_eq!(5.hours(), SignedDuration::hours(5));
assert_eq!(5.days(), SignedDuration::days(5));
assert_eq!(5.weeks(), SignedDuration::weeks(5));

Signed integers work as well!

# use time::{SignedDuration, ext::NumericalDuration};
assert_eq!((-5).nanoseconds(), SignedDuration::nanoseconds(-5));
assert_eq!((-5).microseconds(), SignedDuration::microseconds(-5));
assert_eq!((-5).milliseconds(), SignedDuration::milliseconds(-5));
assert_eq!((-5).seconds(), SignedDuration::seconds(-5));
assert_eq!((-5).minutes(), SignedDuration::minutes(-5));
assert_eq!((-5).hours(), SignedDuration::hours(-5));
assert_eq!((-5).days(), SignedDuration::days(-5));
assert_eq!((-5).weeks(), SignedDuration::weeks(-5));

Just like any other SignedDuration, they can be added, subtracted, etc.

# use time::ext::NumericalDuration;
assert_eq!(2.seconds() + 500.milliseconds(), 2_500.milliseconds());
assert_eq!(2.seconds() - 500.milliseconds(), 1_500.milliseconds());

When called on floating point values, any remainder of the floating point value will be truncated. Keep in mind that floating point numbers are inherently imprecise and have limited capacity.
